Thank you for choosing the K&K Silver Bullet Instrument Microphone. This device is a very powerful condenser

Wind instruments, shown here on a concert flute. Attach microphone close to blowhole of flute with
approximate distance of 2" to 3". Use foam windscreen. For saxophones or trumpets, clip the mic to the
bell.

sitar, bouzouki, saz, oud, balalaika and similar. For these instruments, remove the butterfly clip and attach

CONNECTING THE MIC
1. Plug the microphone into the ¼" input jack of your preamp box.
2. Connect the balanced XLR output (or ¼" line output in the optional preamp model) of the microphone's
preamp box to a mixing console. If you want to connect the XLR output to a ¼" input, you must use a
proper adapter. However, this may result in signal loss. We recommend you exchange your preamp for
the ¼" output box.
3. For wind instruments, we recommend you use the supplied windscreen. For string and percussion
instrument, leave the windscreen off for best frequency response.
